Planning a kitchen refresh? Explore the leading kitchen trends of 2019, from warm wooden kitchens to inviting country styles. As experienced kitchen designers, we share expert tips on must-have materials and fascinating insights into what men and women truly desire in their ideal kitchen.
Recent research highlights intriguing differences in kitchen wishes between men and women. Our trend infographic reveals that most people favor wooden kitchens over stark white ones. Men are more inclined toward freestanding stoves, and a whopping 50% of men love country kitchens compared to 32% of women. This challenged my own assumptions about men's preference for sleek, modern designs. Pro tip: Always factor in your partner's tastes—they may surprise you.
Wood brings nature indoors with its enduring appeal. In 2019, wooden kitchens dominate trends, offering a warm, cozy vibe that's both timeless and stylish. With a spectrum of colors available, customize your design to harmonize with your home's overall interior.
Matte black kitchens make a bold statement in 2019. Pair them with contrasting backsplashes and wooden worktops for a sophisticated, chic aesthetic that elevates any space.
Ditch standalone hoods—they suit restaurants, not modern homes. This year, integrate the extractor into your cabinetry for a unified, trendy look while retaining full functionality.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, so infuse personality for warmth. Display a cherished Moroccan tagine on the counter or a vacation-sourced vase—keep it curated, not cluttered.
Swap upper cabinets for open shelves to showcase kitchenware. Focus on variety and calm: neutral tones punctuated by standout pieces.
Concrete worktops or convincing replicas add edge. Blend concrete with rust hues for an authentic industrial finish that complements your kitchen's style.
Build on last year's brass trend by incorporating tin and copper. Select taps, lighting, and accents in these metals for a layered, contemporary appeal.
Two-Tone Kitchens
Two-tone designs, like wood paired with white, are hugely popular in 2019. Wood leads the charge, but for broader appeal, opt for wooden doors in white frames with white counters. Experiment with variations for a fresh twist.
Renovating doesn't require a full overhaul. Ready for change on a budget? These low-cost tips let you refresh your kitchen effortlessly.
